Excellent experience

John_M, Sep 2024

Allesandro was a perfect guide, exceeded our expectations. Knew the “ hot spots” without the tourists, was a great experience. Allesandro is very personable, knowledgeable and extremely helpful with suggestions from photos, to additional tours, do’s and don’ts of Rome, and food choices. Worth every penny, highly recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

From perfect photo spots to insightful tips about Rome, it sounds like Allesandro truly made your tour unforgettable. Your high recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re delighted that you felt it was worth every penny.

Unfortunately, our...

Giselle_K, May 2024

Unfortunately, our experience with Claudia as our tour guide was not as expected. She arrived an hour late, having forgotten our scheduled meeting time. Communication was challenging due to language barriers, and simple requests, such as taking photos, were not understood. Additionally, we were concerned about her well-being as she appeared unsteady and frequently bumped into our baby's pram and passersby. We were also uncomfortable with her smoking close to our baby. We hope this feedback helps improve future experiences for other guests.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hi Gift and Giselle, I understand the frustration of having a host who didn't meet your expectations, especially when it comes to language barriers, lateness, and smoking near your child - something we were very concerned about. After a thorough investigation, we have decided to deactivate his host. Your feedback means a lot to us as we are diligently improving our procedures and host qualifications to prevent similar incidents in the future. We'd be grateful for another chance to create a memorable experience that exceeds your expectations. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.

Great Quick Layover Tour!! ❤️🛬

JazminHenry_A, Feb 2024

I had a wonderful time in Rome, my tour guide was Tugce she was phenomenal and showed me so much in a short time. I had a layover in Rome and wanted to see as much as I could. I will definitely be back so I can really enjoy the culture more, but the cafe we ate at to the history sights, I definitely want to learn more about Rome. Thank you for being so kind and taking photos of me that I wanted, looking forward to the next time I come and visit 😊

Response from Host, Feb 2024

I'm thrilled to hear you had a wonderful time in Rome with our guide Tugce! It's fantastic that she could make your short layover so memorable. We're excited to welcome you back for a more immersive experience in Rome's rich culture. Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to your next visit!

Giro nelle vie nascoste di Roma

gaetano_f, Sep 2023

La guida turistica è stata eccellente e ci ha regalato una passeggiata nelle vie più nascoste di Roma. La guida ci ha intrattenuto con spiegazioni storiche molto dettagliate e avvincenti.
